Bioprinting directly onto skin defects and its potential in surgery

Written by Daniel Barrett

Scientists from 3D Bioprinting Solutions and P.A. Herzen (both Moscow, Russia) have been trialling the use of bioprinting directly onto skin defects. The in situ experiments could help push research forward into the possibility of bioprinting tissue onto human patients during surgery. Scientists from 3D Bioprinting Solutions and P.A. Herzen (both Moscow, Russia) have been trialling the use of bioprinting directly onto skin defects. The in situ experiments could help push research forward into the possibility of bioprinting tissue onto human patients during surgery, particularly with organ defects. The study looked at bioprinting onto skin wounds on rats over 2–3 weeks....
